    Abstract: A real time location system (RTLS) is provided for determining three-dimensional locations of nodes in an environment. The RTLS system includes at least one node associated with an asset in the environment. The at least one node has an unknown location. The system further includes at least one tracking device that communicates with the at least one node to obtain location data associated with the unknown location of the at least one node. A location module receives the location data associated with the unknown location of the at least one node and determines a real-time three-dimensional current location of the at least one node based on the location data. The real-time three-dimensional current location having x, y and z coordinates and the z coordinate indicates a height of the at least one node in the environment.

    Abstract: Methods for calibrating antenna oscillators are provided including initiating a clock offset process from a primary antenna with a remote antenna within a radio frequency (RF) range of the primary antenna to determine a clock offset between the primary antenna and the remote antenna; calculating a temperature difference between a primary temperature of the primary antenna and a temperature of the remote antenna; and instructing the remote antenna to adjust a clock frequency of the remote antenna based on the determined clock offset and the calculated temperature.
